It's the "let them eat dog food" crowd showing their true colors. These retired multi millionaires on a pension complain because SS is taxable income. The answer is simple; make SS receipts non taxable.
Here’s a thought. How about making what folks pay into social security theirs to pass on to their families when they die, including covering their funeral expenses.
That way, any of their heirs that actually needs the money to live or survive on, will have it. Those on nice cushy pensions that don’t need to live on will still have the benefit of what they paid in passed on to their kids or loved ones. Instead, what we have is “legalized theft by government”.
If government were not so greedy (big if), government would not spend all that money intended for folks’ retirement on what government wants to spend it on instead. Again...big if.
